National Committee of Asian American Republicans

The National Committee of Asian American Republicans (Asian.GOP) is a political organization that seeks to "introduce, explain, and promulgate the Republican values and principles that are similar to those of Asians (merit, hard work, self-responsibility, family values, etc.)", according to its website. The committee's viewpoints included admitting students to college based solely on merit instead of taking minority quotas, activities aside from scholarships, "leadership", and other non-educational factors into consideration, as well as preserving traditional family values and opposing illegal immigration. Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao played a leading role in the committee as one of its loudest voices, and its staffers included Cliff Zhonggang Li, Juan Carlos Benitez, Tim Koch, Benming Zhang, Shu Xuan, and Xudan Zhou.
